Well today i learned, hitler was nominated for a nobel peace prize in 1939, but it was more a tongue in cheeck nomination

https://www.nobelpeacecenter.org/en/news/hitler-as-a-nobel-laureate

The nomination of Chamberlain provoked him to nominate Hitler as a provocation against Hitler and Nazism. The result of the Munich Agreement was that the western powers stabbed Czechoslovakia in the back by handing over Sudetenland to achieve peace

But the irony was lost on people, ans the nomination was withdrawn at the last moment, ans regardless no peace prize was ever awarded for 1939 due to ww2 breaking out
